Wondering what to use your healthy extra b choice on today? Make up a batch of these Cheddar Cheese Spring Onion Bread - which by the way is DELICIOUS!!
I am not a fan of some of the breads that qualify as a healthy extra b, many of them are full of lots of preservatives etc to make them stay fresher for longer and are far from a fresh loaf of bread, unless you buy a freshly baked bakery loaf.
So I often tend to use a healthy extra b choice like oats and come up with my own healthy creations. Many of which you will of already seen on here - like my Gluten Free Soda Bread and various Granola recipes.
I love the gluten free soda bread and if you are looking for some great recipes to serve it with? Check out these:
I recently had a craving for cheese scones and well you can guess how high in calories they tends to be. I know there are various calorie free version floating around using smash or other weird and wonderful things, but smash to me just seems bleurgh and I am not really a tweaker.
So using the basis of my gluten free soda bread, I decided to try it for a kind of scone recipe and this Cheddar Cheese Spring Onion Bread turned out amazing. So much so that I had my serving and decided to freeze the rest for another day to stop me being tempted to eat any more.
Even better is that this Cheddar Cheese Spring Onion Bread also works out calorie free if you use your Healthy Extra A and B choice.
Soo good just on their own with a little butter of alongside one of the soup, casserole or stew recipes I linked to above.
The recipe does have baking powder and soda in it, but it's a teeny amount and the calories end up negligible in 1 serving.
For those with gluten free intolerances, if you make sure you use gluten free verified oats and baking powder this recipe will be gluten free. I know how hard is to get decent gluten free healthy extra b choices, so I hope you will love this.
The Cheddar Cheese Spring Onion Bread divides up into 6 bread serving, which is 2 pieces (or 4 if you slice in half like have) per serving and they are pretty decent and filling, compared to a feather light slice of low calorie bread.
If you are making them just for you, I recommend either freezing the other servings and take them out as you want them or put them in a tub if you plan to enjoy them over the next couple of days.

Please do make this, it's lovely, the flavor of the spring onion and cheese is spot on. Great you can freeze it to. Fab recipe, thanks, would give it more stars if I could.
Angela says
Just made this. My kitchen smells wonderful. I was worried that the mixture was too wet, but it has cooked perfectly. I sprinkled some finely grated cheese on top of mine instead of the chilli flakes and it looks so good. Enjoyed a small slice, still warm from the oven, with a little knob of butter. Absolutely delicious, thank you so much for sharing the recipe, I will be making it again and again.
Elaine says
Had this with some roasted vegetable soup this evening. It was delicious! Will definitely be making it again.
Sheila Sears says
Loved this recipe, I cooked yesterday for may Taster class last night, everybody loved it. I made up a dip of Philadelphia Light cheese and chopped gherkin dip. I make my own soups so the next time we have soup will be making this recipe again as I feel they would go so well together. 10/10

Just made this to use as syned with soup. Worked out at 31.5 for the whole recipe. Not a good side dish used like this.
Shevy (Slimming Eats) says
This is best enjoyed when using your healthy extras, as it will then be Syn Free. Makes a much more filing side to regular bread.

I've made this twice this weekend, first time it was for a shared supper with friends, everyone wanted to try it. Hubby was disappointed there was none left when I got home so made it again today, Hubby and Son loved it. I think it will be a family favourite.

Hi Siobhan,
I'm excited to try this, as I loved the pizza crust the other day. Do you think this would work with fromage frais or creme fraiche instead of yoghurt?
Thanks,
Martha
Siobhan (Slimming Eats) says
it's only been tested with the yoghurt, but you can certainly give it a go with fromage frais, let me know how it turns out if you give it a try.
